We’re joined by Elliot Attard, Production & Content Manager at JOY Media and Managing Editor at Checkpoint Gaming, to unpack why Nintendo has stayed so iconic for nearly two decades. Elliot chats about what kept the company relevant long after systems like Atari and Game Boy faded, and why the Nintendo Wii connected so strongly with families, casual players and anyone who’s ever swung a virtual tennis racket.

We also explore Nintendo’s strategy — how they balance nostalgia with fresh ideas — and what other gaming companies could learn from their approach. Elliot shares where he thinks Nintendo is headed over the next 5–10 years, plus a favourite game or memory that still sticks with him.

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Brody Roper and Rubey Philp

Executive Producer: Harper Pestinger
